CAIRO — Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh blamed Israel on Wednesday (May 15) for a deadlock in Gaza ceasefire negotiations and reiterated key demands including that any agreement provide a framework for a permanent end to Israel's offensive in the enclave.

Palestinian group Hamas' top leader, Ismail Haniyeh meets with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran, Iran March 27, 2024.May 16, 2024 3:21 AM

Israel disputed this, saying the three-phase proposal approved by Hamas was unacceptable because terms had been watered down. Ceasefire talks in Cairo broke up this month with no agreement. "Any efforts or agreement must secure a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive pull-out from all of the Gaza Strip, a real prisoner swap deal, the return of the displaced, reconstruction, and lifting the blockade," said Haniyeh.
